The Boston Business Journal reports that Massachusetts will be unaffected by the shuttering of about 200 Starbucks locations across the US. Perhaps we’re not cutting back on pricey coffee to the extent that people in other states are, presumably a good economic sign. Or maybe Starbucks just doesn’t want to give Dunkin’ Donuts the satisfaction of a retreat in DD’s home region.

The map below shows where Starbucks had the most outlets per capita as of the end of 2008. Massachusetts ranked 16th, with 210 locations for 6.5 million people — or 3.23 for every 100,000 residents. But our ranking is certain to rise as stores are closed elsewhere.

Starbucks’ birthplace, Washington, is first among states, with 10.23 stores for every 100,000 people. But Washington, DC, is even more saturated, with 13.18 locations for every 100,000 people. Vermont is at the bottom of the list, with only five Starbucks outlets for a population of 621,000. The state’s fierce opposition to chain stores (Wal-Mart in particular) is surely a factor here.

There may seem to be a Starbucks on every corner in Manhattan, but the chain’s lower profile upstate upstate puts New York in 20th place.
